Looking for specific MTM or Bespoke Material and NEED HELP

I made a post earlier in the week about potentially buying 2-3 mtm or bespoke suits. It looks as though the best route for me would be a MTM suit and I was hoping you guys could give me a little help. I came across this picture of an Oxxford 1220 suit, Oxxford's new line set to release in spring 2010, that I think is absolutely amazing, the only problem is the MTM price for it is way out of my price range (the sales man said anywhere between $6,000-$7,000 MTM for the normal Oxxford line). I was hoping somebody out there could tell me if there was anywhere I could find this particular material in a MTM or bespoke suit for a lot cheaper. I've attached the picture and any help would be greatly appreciated. In case the picture doesn't work, you can go to Oxxford's website (oxxfordclothes.com) and see the picture under the 1220 preview section. Thanks a lot.

You're kidding, right? The same way a Hyundai is 'same/similar' to a Lamborghini because they both have four wheels?

That's a large scale glen check without an overcheck, which will be hard to find. All I can say is good luck, but if you write to various companies and use those terms, you might have some response. Also, try sending them your picture. I'm sure they'll be willing to help.

how much are you willing to spend, the recommendation is going to change a lot depends on what you're willing to pay.

TheWraith - Thanks for the suggestion, I didn't see anything quite like what I was looking for, but I appreciate the help.

Clee1982 - I was looking to spend anywhere from $2,000 - $3,800, realizing that $2000 was probably too low, but remaining optimistic. I'd prefer not to spend $3,800, but for that fabric I may be willing to stomach the cost.

If anyone could point me in the direction of a fabric like that (or the exact fabric) it would be an amazing help.

Thanks
